Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for generating sounds of technical devices that can be actuated by a control unit.
  • the object of the invention is to enable the user to operate and identify well-known devices which are available in a technically advanced version and innovative systems are intuitive, that is to say on the basis of familiar sound images.
  • This object is achieved in that, in addition to the device, the control unit also controls a microprocessor unit which, by means of an acoustic output device, generates a noise characteristic of the technical device.
  • the device according to the invention opens up the possibility of simulating the noise which characterizes the well-known device and which is known to the user, even in technically further developed versions of known devices.
  • the device according to the invention In addition to the total simulation of noises in recently noiseless devices, it is also conceivable to use the device according to the invention only to support the new sound image. For example, it is conceivable that a technically newer device is a slightly modified one or only produces quieter noise, which is then underlaid by the noise generated by the device according to the invention.
  • the acoustic output device which is controlled by means of the microprocessor unit, can e.g. a loudspeaker or a buzzer, i.e. be a buzzer.
  • any other output device can be used, which is suitable for generating noise by appropriate control.
  • Such a device according to the invention which is suitable to simulate original characteristic noises of technical devices or to support these noises, can be used to simplify identification of the devices or their operating state, or to enable them in the first place.
  • the devices according to the invention are preferably used for generating noise in household electronics / technology, entertainment electronics / technology and in particular in the motor vehicle sector.
  • Modern motor vehicles in particular, have only a weak or unpleasantly perceptible engine noise due to the usually strong noise insulation in the interior.
  • a noise simulation can therefore be used to completely simulate or correct known engine noise in order to achieve a familiar perception of engine noise.
  • the microprocessor unit could e.g. be controlled by the position of the accelerator pedal and / or the tachometer.
  • the device according to the invention can be used in a contactless turn signal control to emulate the noise of a switch relay. It was mentioned at the beginning that modern Indicator controls, for example, can be implemented contactlessly through the use of transistors and therefore work essentially without noise.
  • the device In order to reliably inform a vehicle driver about the operating state of the turn signal, the device is used to simulate the typical cracking of a switching relay. When the driver perceives this characteristic noise, it is immediately clear to the driver that the turn signal is working. This prevents the driver from being irritated by undefined beeps that are intended to indicate the turn signal function.
  • the acoustic output device which is given, for example, by a loudspeaker, is controlled via the microprocessor unit with different sound pieces, which in particular result in the sum of the desired noise.
  • a microprocessor unit to control the acoustic output device ensures that different sound versions, e.g. are stored in a program memory and can be selected either by the user or in a workshop.
  • the acoustic output device is controlled in succession with different sound pieces, which produce the noise and can be selected by means of the microprocessor unit on the basis of a signal from the control unit.
  • the sound pieces that are used to simulate the noise can, for example, depending on the Edge course of the incoming flashing signal can be selected.
  • the flashing signal itself is generated by the control unit.
  • the control unit is the interval indicator of the turn signal control.
  • control unit can simply consist of only one on / off switch. This on / off switch then controls the microprocessor unit, which continuously generates the desired noise until it is switched off again.
  • Another advantage of the device according to the invention is that a modified noise can be generated in the event of a defect in the controlled device. This modification of the familiar noise immediately draws the user's attention to the malfunction of the device.
  • a device in addition to the technically advanced noise-free or low-noise device, it is also possible, in addition to the technically advanced noise-free or low-noise device, to control the original version of the device, which has no function other than the original noise, instead of a microprocessor unit.
  • a contactless turn signal control in addition to the control transistor, which is the actual blinking function of the The turn signal system ensures that a relay can also be controlled without any further function, which only serves to generate the characteristic switching noise.
  • FIG. 1 shows a typical known turn signal control.
  • a relay 2 is periodically controlled by means of a control unit 1, which is provided by an interval transmitter. According to the switching cycle of this relay 2, the light bulbs B are brought to light up periodically.
  • a sound is indicated by the sound waves W, which is known, for example, to the driver of a vehicle and thus enables him to operate the turn signal intuitively.
  • FIG. 2 shows a modern contactless turn signal control, in which the control is again carried out by a control unit 1, that is to say the interval transmitter.
  • a control unit 1 that is to say the interval transmitter.
  • a transistor 2 ' is driven, which in turn causes the light bulbs B to light up periodically by contactless switching.
  • the microprocessor unit 3 is also controlled at the same time selects and controls the loudspeaker 4 by means of these sound images.
  • the sound images are called up from the memory on the basis of the flank profile in such a way that a sound is indicated by the sound waves W, which simulates the original sound of a switching relay.
  • the device according to the invention for generating noises of technical devices which is suitable for generating both continuous and periodic, repetitive noises, can thus also contribute to the safety of the devices used.
